WiiM Amp

[Brantome]

I added the WiiM amp to my cart. I feel very happy now.

You’ll enjoy it. It’s a very capable little box

Yes, thanks.

But I just added it to my cart yet. I might drop it out later and add it in the cart again tomorrow. If I continue to do this every day, my happiness will last.


... Just kidding.

Hello gents, I´d like to know if it might be possible to integrate kind of a pitch of control of +/- 5% in the app, like on a turntable?

Thx

Yes, thanks.

Which devices do you have from WIIM at this moment? Are you using a Pro of mini?

Yes, I have a Mini and a Pro. I don't need Amp to be honest, but I'd love to try it.

The high-pass filter is also attractive.

Thank you too.
I know you enjoy WiiM amp wholeheartedly.
That's one of the reasons I decided to buy Amp.
(Actually, I was planning to wait for Ultra )

Great..i good buy i can assure you. Amp sounds excellent with the B&W,s and the Sub.

My WiiM amp arrived naked.



As expected, the cushioning material was torn, but the amp was safe. The setup is complete and I have adjusted the crossover of the SW.

Great streamer amp so far.
@WiiMTeam, @WiiMSupport, well done!
Oh, thank you, I'm so happy now.

FYI, I finally got a replacement unit from french retailer sonvideo/easylounge, one month after returning my humming v4:
- it's PCB_version 5
- and the markings on the bottom confirm it's a version 5 (it has the class 2 logo)
- but the box is an older one (it has color service logos)
- and the production date is beginning of January (SN: P1TF240200###)
- and the uboot_verinfo is 231222.180423 (Erin's is from 2024)
- but most importantly, there is absolutely no coil whine at all

So, it seems it might not be the most recent unit, I don't know why I had to wait so long to get it, but at least it fixes the issue

Maybe they’ve got a whole load of version 4s which they don’t want to sell. So they’re just changing the PCB in them all.

As I said, the markings on the bottom of the unit are not the same as on my previous v4 unit. so it's definitely newer hardware

Did you receive the most recent firmware, yet? As of now, this is 5.0.609560.

 

[pipomolo42]

Yes, I'm running it. But I don't think I've ever seen a Wiim Amp firmware upgrade that also upgrades u-boot

I don't know, didn't pay much attention in the past.

But I can confirm that uboot_verinfo (240104.162025) did not change for me between firmware 5.0.606744 and 5.0.609560, indeed.

I assume this refers to the boot loader version, so in theory it should be able update it, if necessary? I don't have a clue about embedded systems ...

Yes, it's working the way it's supposed too I believe, just the line level out from the tv seems to be low so the amp has to be cranked up higher than I think it should be.
I see the WiiM Amp setting of per source volume control, but I can't tell that it's implemented, plus not sure if that's an input control or likely output to speaker control.

Optical from TV to Amp is low as well for what that's worth.

Seems like it's the TV line level that's low compared to streaming audio on the amp.

I have noted the exact same thing. My previous setup had more similar volumes. So I think the sensitivity for HDMI is just too low. The amp would never get close to full power as it is currently setup.

Forget Sonos, this low-cost streaming amp turned my 'dumb' speakers into a music powerhouse

This compact streaming amp is a genius solution for Hi-Fi on a budget

@WiiM Support
Hey, I've sent you multiple emails regarding the issue I'm having with the Wiim amp replacement, but still haven't received any replies. The seller (Audio Trade Germany) is not responding to my emails as well. It's now been almost two months since I sent back my device for a replacement!

If you have returned the Amp to Audio Trade then while WiiM may be able to contact the distributor, your issue is ultimately with the seller. If they are not responding, I’d contact whichever consumer advice agency you have in your region to push them to respond.
